Notes about this historic site

1 An elaborate system of moats surrounded the 18th century Radbrook House, but most of these have been disused and filled up within recent years.
2 At SP1948 and SP1948 are waterfilled remains of the moat system.
3 The moat dimensions are uncertain; the W arm is 65m long and the S arm 60m. These arms form ponds which hold water.
